INNOVATIVE MATCH was founded on the ideals that love and companionship go hand-in-hand with health and happiness, and that everyone who is committed to a journey down the Romance Highway should be able to find a relationship.

Cassie Zampa-Keim and her team work closely with each client to develop a customized strategy for both personal development and dating, setting the stage for a fun and successful process.

OUR APPROACH

Success in the dating world starts with discovering your best self. INNOVATIVE MATCH works with clients to identify where they are in their lives today, what matters to them, and what has and has not worked in the past. By building a clear picture of who and where the clients are today, INNOVATIVE MATCH helps them determine what type of partner would work best, so that they can focus on finding just the right person for them.

With that foundation, INNOVATIVE MATCH develops a results-oriented action plan, working closely with and coaching clients on developing their own network, navigating the online dating world, and optimizing results with date-smart strategies for the 21st-century. While providing access to hundreds of potential matches that clients would not be likely to meet on their own, INNOVATIVE MATCH also maintains close personal connections to each client throughout the process.

With three decades of relationship coaching experience, Cassie and her team bring tremendous enthusiasm, talent, and the human touch to the world of dating.

In Cassie’s words from the introduction to her book, Finding Love After 50:

"I use the metaphor of the Romance Highway to point out that dating is not like a tunnel, with only one way through and no detours. Highways offer multiple routes, different speeds, off ramps, frontage roads, and rest stops. Your journey will be unique, based on your life today. I want to help you see who you are and what brings you joy, increasing your confidence and magnetism. I will start you on a journey of discovery, an exciting evolutionary process that brings a new level of self-awareness, clarity, and ultimately, relationship success."

What People Are Saying

I’ve been separated for almost a year. Sad for sure, but not the end of the world. A few months ago a neighbor told me about Cassie Keim, a professional matchmaker with over 20 years of experience. All I can say, Cassie is awesome. She sat with me, figured out my priorities, we talked about what went wrong with my what went wrong with my marriage and what my hopes are for the future. She sources potential dates, we talk about how a relationship is developing, she’s an objective friend, a true professional.

— Elizabeth, F Diablo, CA

Starting to date after being in a long marriage was like learning a new language. I had no idea what to do as far as meeting new people, dating techniques, advice on first dates, and not feeling uncomfortable or afraid. After working with Innovative Match within three weeks I started to feel confident, it became fun and I felt secure having a third party involved. Dating is hard but with guidance and support it became an exciting journey and one that I will never regret. I am dating great guys, having fun and will hopefully find that great love again.

— Michelle R, Greenwich, CT

I have to admit I was always a little hesitant about online dating but after speaking with the team at Innovative Match I felt I was in good hands. It has been such so easy having you help me manage and navigate all that is involved in the online search. I have loved having you as my advocates and advisors. I’m going to dinner with Steve again Saturday....fingers crossed the search is over.

— Sharon M, Los Angeles CA

I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found Innovative Match. After 8 months online on my own on with limited success, hiring Innovative Match was the best decision I could have made. With your guidance and coaching I have seen a dramatic difference in both the process, and the quality of women I’ve been meeting. I know we’re in the early stages but feeling very confident that your expertise will result in the committed relationship I’m ready for.

— Gary C, Los Gatos CA

I hired Innovative Match to coach and support me through a difficult break-up. I needed the expertise, advice and tools to break old patterns, and begin new healthier ones. After one month of intensive coaching I began to date again. Innovative Match guided me to meet the right woman and stayed with me as I began to date someone exclusively. They made sure I was on track and within a few months, I knew that I had changed. I met someone where there could possibly be a long term relationship.

— Robert M, Paradise Valley, AZ

As you both know, after losing my wife of 29 years I never really expected to find another great love but thanks to you I have.

We have a trip to Italy planned in July and will drink a toast to you in Tuscany for finding us a very special love. Grazi!
